The world Lokdown forced developers and city authorities to reconsider approaches to urban planning. The new trend - large cities should combine self -sufficient areas with developed infrastructure and equipped green zone. On the example of one of the modern residential complexes of Moscow, we tell how in the capital's residential areas today everything necessary for a comfortable life appears.


For the past few years, megalopolites have increasingly transformed into cities of 15-minute accessibility-become decentralized and decay into areas, each of which can fully function within itself. The pandemic only strengthened this trend - more and more urban planners are thinking about how to move from a centroting model, when all business activity is concentrated in the center, to a distributed one. Now for the townspeople it has become fundamentally important so that all needs could be satisfied next to the house: in the morning to walk the dog and work out in sports, then - to work on your own terrace or in coworking, and in the evening to dinner with friends in a restaurant or go to a concert. With this approach, everyone wins: residents do not have to waste time on the road, employers - pay money for utilities and rental offices, and the city authorities can unload roads and solve the problem with parking in the city center.
Successful examples of such quarters are in Copenhagen, Melbourne and Utrecht, plan to create them in Paris and other cities. Moscow is also changing. For example, the apartments of the Business Class "Pravda" are built on the territory of the former Soviet printing house, a monument of constructivism of the early 1930s. In recent years, the district has become a new important point on the map of Moscow: there is a large business center “Belaya Square”, the Food Mall “Depot” and other cafes and restaurants, schools and parks, as well as the Museum of Russian Impressionism and the Moscow Hippodrome. In total, 4.5 km from the apartments is the Kremlin, and there is also a trip to TTK, several metro stations, the Belorussky and Savelovsky stations, from where it is convenient to get to Sheremetyevo Airport.
As a rule, real estate in the territory of self-sufficient quarters-surveying becomes a multifunctional complex built on the principle of Mixed -use, when consumers receive everything they need in one place. For example, here they can rent a workplace, buy products and meet friends in a pleasant atmosphere, and everything that is missing inside the house is in a quarter of an hour. There are usually parks, museums, schools and other necessary infrastructure on the territory of such quarters-all-all ones. That is, in fact, now developers offer citizens not just space, but a set of services.
The complex of apartments "Pravda" is just built on the principle of Space-A-A-Service. The basis of the complex is two 21-story towers, united by an open terrace on the seventh floor. On the first floors of Pravda, services necessary for a comfortable life will be placed: shops, restaurants, bakeries, banks and other infrastructure. For cars, a two -level underground parking is designed, and on the roof of the first floor there is another terrace where you can drink morning coffee or spend an evening with friends.

Urbanists associate the development of cities with increasing landscaping. For consumers, when buying real estate, the presence of balconies and terraces inside residential spaces is fundamental, and nearby - reservoirs and green areas, and pets equipped for sports and walking of pets. For example, the PSN group when planning the territory of Pravda determined more than half of the available site for the green zone. A park with an area of 1.6 hectares was divided into areas for walking, picnics, sports and coworking, and specialists from the UK were invited to decorate the territory.
Another trend gaining popularity is the careful use of natural resources. Developers try to re -use building materials, reduce the use of plastic and provide energy -efficient solutions. In addition, the creation of ecosystems within quarters and individual houses is becoming increasingly common in order to reduce the consumption of natural resources and own expenses.
